Unclaimed Tax Credit for the Stay-at-home parent.

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | press release author Tuesday September 27, 2005 03:04author by Harry Rea - The National Men's Council of Irelandauthor email hrea at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

Unclaimed Tax Credit for the Stay-at-home parent.

The President of Mothers At Home has today urged mums and dads who work full time at home as a stay-at-home parent and who may not be aware of the existence of a tax credit of €15 per week for stay-at-home parents, to contact the Office of the Revenue Commissioners to clarify if this tax credit is applicable to them.

“I find it deeply disturbing that the existence of this tax credit is not more widely known”, Mrs, Bennis said. “Mothers At Home has been informed that tens of thousands of euro remain unclaimed in the Office of the Revenue Commissioners, simply because no politician has bothered to make parents aware of it. And it begs the question why? Were they ashamed of the paltry nature of the amount being offered in recognition of the work of the full-time parent? Nobody will deny that it is a ridiculous amount, particularly in the light of Art. 41.2 of the Irish Constitution which fully acknowledges the irreplaceable value of the work of the full-time mother, without which, it agrees, the common good cannot be achieved.”

Mrs. Bennis went on to urge claimants to enquire about claiming back taxes for this amount. “It only amounts to €770 per annum,” she said, “but it was introduced in the Budget of 2,000 in response to the public outcry at Charlie McCreevy’s tax individualization, and MAH has been informed that there is an entitlement to back payment to the year 2001.”

Mrs. Bennis was scathing of elected representatives who failed to inform the stay-at-home parents of this entitlement, and she said it was just further proof to her that the stay-at-home parent doesn’t count for much in the eyes of those in the corridors of power.

“Well”, she concluded, “as I have already said, mothers at home are now a force and we are no longer prepared to accept the crumbs that fall from the politicians table. The full-time mother (or father if that is the choice of parents) will be heard at the next election, and any political party that wants their support should know what to do”.

Anyone clinging to the deValera consititution and it's interpration of female rights.. if any section deserves to be re-examined its that. Love how they only argue about women in the home... where's the men???

More pointedly, I don't know about everyone else, but both in the home I live in and my parents home I get quite a bit of 'unsolicited mail' from the various political parties, most commonly around budget/new year and the benefits are fairly clearly laid out.

Maybe its time the public took an onus on themselves to get informed rather than the simpsonesque 'can't somebody else do it?' attitude.

You know I was going to agree with this post until I read the homepage provided and realised that this group hates single parents unless its as a result of desertion.

They hate single mothers and single fathers and believe the "state is distorting and undermining marriage with its subsidy of illegitimacy " - Nice guys, real nice. To hell with illegitimate children and their hell spawn parents eh?

Sure were all devil worshippers anyway cause honest decent god fearing people dont have sex outside marraige.

This is a signifcant tax break for anyone working as a stay-at-home parent and people need to know that it is necessary to contact the Revenue to claim this; it is not done automatically. Also, note that the Revenue can delete this allowance from your tax cert. without informing you so everyone should review this each year.
